you've been informed....yet you ask for more

All I’ve gotten out of you is basically riders don’t have anything to do with sales, the manufacturers only race for pride and to win.  This doesn’t translate at all to sales. Paying riders to ride their bikes are purely for development and pride of winning. And that I should take Bobby Regan as an example to your thoughts. 

You should never run a company brotha. I’m definitely entertained though.

cool poster.......suzuki sold more RMs in 1979

They did?  Would you mind showing the sales volume numbers to support your claim, or is that something you made up?  

My guess is the latter, but it misses my point.  The point being that manufacturers hire these riders to win because wins equal exposure and more exposure (hopefully) leads to sales increase. That’s why Yamaha put an ad in the magazines with their championship riders promoting their bikes.

don't have the data (it was 1979 dingleberry) but Suzuki released radically new models in 1979 that won every shootout. yamaha didn't make major changes until 1980. it's a no brainer but i doubt it would register with you.....

Oh wow, well this changes things. Deegan definitely doesn’t sell Yamahas because this guy is going to sell his for a Honda. Case closed end thread
